Gloucester Fisherman Leave the Atlantic
for Pacific Waters

Boston, October 9th - The three
schooners, Mollie Adams, Edward f. Web
ster and Minerva, which were to have left
Gloucester on Thursday for San Francisco
and Alaska, to engage in sealing and sal
mon-tishing, were delayed by bad weather,
and did not get Oft until yesterday. So
great is public interest that demonstra-
ton of the fishing population was organ
lied. All the vessels in the harbor were
decked with bunting, and many buildings,
including the Fish Exchange The popu-
lace turned out en- masse with several
bands of music, the interest far exceeding
the California fever of 1919. Over 10000
persons were on the wharf, extending to
the tops of the warehouses and sheds, and
the other wharves adjacent were filled.
Forty crews could have been shipped of
men wanting to go. Nine mighty cheers
were given at the start, and many accom-
panied the little feet down the harbor in
tugs. There were parting salutes from the
steam and TOW boats and firing of guns.
One of the officers, Just before starting, sent
this dispatch to Secretary Bayard You
have given the Atlantic to Canada, we will
take the Pacific for Gloucester
The fleet will go round the Horn, while
Captain Jacobs will go by rail to Seattle in
January and make his headquarters there.
If this venture is successful, many other
Gloucester fishermen will do the same. and
give a big boom to Seattle. The killing of
Gloucesters trade is due largely to the fail
ure Of the Government to protect the At
lantic fisheries from the aggressions of Can
ada. Jacobs Alaska outfit cost $4,000.

PREHISTORIC FORESTS.
Over 1000 Acres i'll Arizona Covered
with Silicifed Wood.

with SiliciGed Wood.
ICopyrgI!, 1857, by tie California associated Press
New YoEK, October 2Sth.-Tifany &
Co. are exhibiting six specimens of petri-
lied wood, just received from Apache
county, Arizona. Concerning them inter
esting facts are told by the concern. The
deposit from which the specimens were
south of COrriZa, and covers over 1000
taken is situated about eight miles
acres, containing probably 900 OO0 tons of
silicited wood. The surrounding country,
which is exceedingly bleak and barren, is
everywhere worn away by the elements
into gulches and basins. Within these,
| the fossil wood is found in the shape of
tree trunks projecting forth in every con-
ceiyable direction from the underlying
strata, in many cases looking as if the tree
had but lately fallen and turned to stone.
In one instance an immense tree trunk,
over 100 feet in length, spans canyon IS
feet inss depth and 80 in width. The larg-
est tree which has yet been found is broken
into several pieces. 1t must have measured
when standing, some 200 feet in length
and 10 feet III diameter Over the entire
surface of the gulches trees are scattered
III all conceivable directions and in frag-
ments of all sizes. A tree 150 feet long
was found broken into as many sections of
almost uniform length, presenting the ap-
pearance of having been sawed asunder
for shingle blocks for some prehistoric
park forester

San FRANcIsco, October 2Sth.-[Spe-
cial 1T was Il o'clock last night when the
inquest on the body of Henry Benhayon
was adjourned until this evening. The
expert testimony occupied most Of the
time Of the session, and there was little
else brought out that was thought to affect
the case one way or the other.
After the inquest Demmig, who had
been brought into the Courtroom, was
taken down stairs and locked Up in the
tanks.
As to Lowenstein, conference was held
in the Office of the Chief of Police The
Chief thought there was not sufficient evi-
dence against him to warrant his being
held any longer, and the Coroner and Cap
tain Lees were of the same opinion. Chief
Crowley ordered his release. The young
man appeared greatly relieved, and with a
broad smile on his face left the hall to
return to his aged mother on Buchanan
street.
DINING SMILES AND SMILES.
Dimmig was as smiling as ever last night,
and when he was taken before 81 Dr." Falk
to be identified as the man who had en-
deavored to buy cyanide of potassium from
him, he confronted the witness with as
jaunty an air as if he was about to be
presented to some young lady before whom
he desired to assume his most winsom e
manner.
CHIEF CRowLEY's THEORY.
Chief Crowley says the opinion of experts
that the dOcuments-the letters and the
" confession were written by Benhayon,
confirms his judgment that death was
suicidal. The establishment of the case as a
suicide need not, in his judgment, affect
the Bowers case or tend to establish Bow
ers' innocence; for if Benhayon took his
own life, the appearances certainly are that
he did so while of unsound mind, and
while laboring under vain delusion that
he was a murderer.
SENSATIONAL MRS. HIGHsoN.
The statement has been made by Mrs.
Highson that the story told by Demmg
before the CorOner's jury was suggested to
him by her. The statement made by her
is to the effect that Demmig concluded
that he was in desperate place and asked
her to devise some means of getting out Oft,
whereupon she told him the girl story, and
he used it on the witness stand.
DEMMIG's STRANGE WEDDING.
The entry in the County Clerks Office re-
cOrding the marriage of Demmig to Mrs
Kells, better known as Teresa Farrell,
states that on September S, 1885, John A.
Wilson, aged 2S, applied for and obtained
marriage license for himself and Teresa
kells, aged 2G years aud On the same day
they were united in marriage by Superior
Judge EdmOnds.
This J. \. Wilson, according TO Dem
mig's sworn testimony before the Coroner,
is none other than himself. Why he mar
rIqH This 11DIar- n aI IN
does not satisfactorily appear as yet. The
issue of this marriage is one child, aged
about seven months.
Demmig explains his assumed name by
sayirE that he did not want the boys to
know that he was married
